As environmental organizations like the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund, and others come to terms with their own legacies of racism , environmental history as a sub-field...

He is well placed to do so with his transatlantic institutional affiliations. In addition he argues that environmental history has moved beyond the question of how we got into the environmental problems that we are facing at present. Now environmental historians consider how and why people have changed ecosystems and how...

In this edition of the podcast Paul Warde, Reader in modern history at the University of East Anglia, agues that not defining the boundaries of the field or a common...

Environmental historians have been both friends and foes to environmentalism. Historians can provide important context for understanding contemporary environmental issues, but they can also offer a critique of environmentalism that could undermine the political and social objectives of activists. On this episode of the podcast, members of the Toronto Environmental History Network sit down to discuss the tricky relationship between scholarship and advocacy in environmental history.
